The Boston Globe also has a “worm turns” piece here, and one of the key sources in the piece takes offense at how his quotes were used…Another source (Dave Winer) also feels wronged… I find this kind of journalism, where reporters try so hard to make quotes fit into a pre-concieved notion of how a story should play, the most irritating thing in business reporting today. In this case, it’s not the Google Is Wonderful Look At All The Lava Lamps angle, it’s the opposite: Google Is Making Enemies And Is Too Big For Its Britches. Neither is right. Ugh.
